Moved from Spiders. I'm going to go with S. borealis on this one, but I do need to look up the PDF & review the map again.

Male Steatoda
S. borealis or S. hespera I think, I don't know how to distinguish them though. Lets see what the others think.

Steatoda
Looking at the data maps, it appears that S. hespera is found in the western states if that is any help. S. borealis is common in the eastern states.

I figured Wisconsin was somewhere in the middle. I don't know how much overlap there is, one of the others may.
